- Habitual unfaithful husband, Jack Freeman begins flirting with the coquettish Effie McKenzie, and so breaks up her marriage. Blanche Gordon, a friend of Jack's wife Louise, then comes to see Jack several times in order to plead with him to give up extramarital affairs and accept the responsibilities that go with being a husband. Blanche's husband Tom, however, misunderstands these meetings and insists on a separation. When Jack is murdered, all of the evidence implicates Tom. At the trial, though, Blanche tries to take the blame for the murder, thereby making Tom realize that she really does love him. Just as Tom is about to confess in order to save Blanche, Effie's husband breaks down and admits to being the killer, after which Tom and Blanche are reunited.—Pamela Short
- Blanche Gordon lives unhappily with her husband. There is jealousy on both sides, and of this fact Jack Freeman, a devil-may-care man about town, takes advantage. Jack has quarreled with his own wife, Louise, on account of his attentions to other women. It was he who sowed discord between Donald McKenzie and his wife, Effie. This unhappy girl committed suicide and Donald McKenzie went abroad and became inebriate in his trouble. When he returned to New York he swore to be avenged on Freeman. Freeman, by a trick, lured Blanche Gordon to a disreputable roadhouse. There she was discovered by her husband, Tom Gordon, in a compromising position with Freeman. There was a quarrel between the two men and Jack Freeman was shot. Blanche Gordon was arrested for the murder, and in court she swore that she killed Freeman in defense of her honor. It looked as though the woman would be condemned for the murder, until Donald McKenzie came forward to depose that it was he who had killed Jack Freeman by having robbed him, McKenzie, of his wife Effie. After the trial Blanche Gordon and Tom Gordon, her husband, were reconciled and they neither of them forgot her terrible torture on '"The Rack" on the trial for murder which she did not commit.—Moving Picture World synopsis
